Why usage of chlorofluorocarbons being discouraged? or Explain ozone layer depletion? |
|
Answer» The decomposition of CFC’s destroying ozone. CF2Cl2(g) + hv → Cl(h) + CF2Cl(g) The reactive Cl atom reacts with O3 to form ClO radical. Cl(g) + O3 → ClO(g) + O2(g) Thus each Cl atom produced, can destroy many O3 molecules. This leads to ozone depletion. |
